California Middle Earth

California Middle Earth

It was one of those quiet Tuesday nights and I happened to stumble across a Lord of the Rings book in the house library.
Flipping through the map of Middle Earth and the
description of the different places, somewhere, along with that feeling
of escape and adventure was a feeling of home... looking closer at the
coast and the mountain ranges, the similarity between Middle
Earth and California geography started to appear.

For those who didn't get to experience the California public education system firsthand, to best understand this map, please read up on the history of water politics in California. City of Quartz, a history of SoCal by Mike Davis is also worth reading.
